PLASTIC WORLD



PLASTIC WORLD

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

NOW EVERYTHING IS FAST
SEEMS LIKE NOTHING LASTS
IN A WORLD OF USE IT ONCE
THEN THROW IT ALL AWAY
NO ONE WANTS TO STAY AND TALK
HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE
IN A HURRY TO GO
NO TIME FOR GOING SLOW
WHATEVER HAPPENED I DON'T KNOW

THE SUN GOES DOWN ALONE
THE MOON IS ON ITS OWN
FOR ALL ITS WORTH
WHAT HAPPENED TO
SAVE THE WORLD
SAVE THE EARTH
 NEVER LET THEM TAKE
IT ALL AWAY

WERE YOU DISTRACTED
FROM YOUR PATH
DID THEY PAY YOU
TO DISAPPEAR
DIDN'T WANT YOU NEAR
THE TRUTH

NOW EVERYONE IS
 RUNNING SCARED
SAW RIGHT THROUGH
THEIR LIES
HANDS OVER THEIR EYES
SAT DOWN AND CRIED

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH SOMETHING OLD
SOMETHING FAMILIAR
SOMETHING SWEET
THAT YOU CAN HOLD
SOME THINGS
 WERE MEANT TO KEEP

PLASTIC WORLD IN PERIL
DOESN'T ANYONE BELIEVE 
WE SHOULDN'T BE DECEIVED
NO ONE WANTS TO FIGHT
JUST GO WITH WHAT THEY SAY
IT'LL SOON BE ALL OVER
ANYWAY
I THROW MY HANDS UP
 WALK AWAY 
WHAT CAN YOU SAY
ITS SAD 
GUESS THEY'D RATHER
SEE IT BURN
TURN A DOLLAR INTO GOLD
WHEN WILL THAT
GET TOO OLD

BACK YOU IN A CORNER
BREAK YOUR WILL
YOU GIVE ALL YOU'VE GOT
AND THEY WANT MORE STILL
WHY DON'T WE KEEP THIS REAL
SOMETHING TANGIBLE
WE ALL CAN FEEL

EMBRACE THE SUN
DON'T BE COLD
INDIFFERENT TO EVERYONE
TAKE THE LOVE
SHINING DOWN
SPREAD IT ALL AROUND
THE WORLD NEEDS MORE

LIGHT YOU UP
LIKE THE WAY YOU FEEL
HOLD ON, HOLD ON
TO EVERYTHING THAT'S REAL
DON'T LOSE SIGHT 
OF WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE
LIKE A STAR
YOU RISE YOU FALL
HOLD ON TO IT ALL
